“No human at the helm”: Delaware plan would let AI agents run entire businesses. Owners of AI-run firms would evade liability for “reckless” AI, US Rep. Comer says. (arstechnica.com)

At first, I wondered why Comer would be opposing this sort of oligarchy-engineering. Maybe he's just sniffing around to get his cut? But it could be Niemöller's ghost finally rising to a level that reaches Comer.

And the CEO said:

  • First they came for the artists, and I did not speak out because I have no heart.
  • Then they came for the writers, and I did not speak out because I have no soul.
  • Then they came for the actors, and I did not speak out because I have no emotions.
  • Then they came for the software engineers, and I did not speak out because I have no mind.
  • Then they came for the infosec people, and I did not speak out because I have no wisdom.
  • Then they came for me. And the artists, writers, actors, software engineers, and infosec people laughed derisively at me. So I called James Comer.

The oligarchs might love this, but the third string C-suite execs that dine with Comer at the finest gas-station barbecue place in Paducah? The AIs have finally come for them.
